You say "Here's the gun" and he says "Here's the money". You just can't knowingly sell to a prohibited person.

In Indiana, as long as you have no reason to suspect the buyer is a felon, under the age, mentally ill or anything else that disqualifies them from purchase, you don't need anything what-so-ever. Some people like to keep a paper trail for their own peace of mind. Personally, I prefer to sell and purchase with no transaction except cash/gun. That way I don't have to account for all those guns being thrown in the river down the road.

right, but if you dont know the person how do you know if they are a prohibited person

You are only legally responsible if you DO know.

I like to VIEW his or her drivers license and hopefully their carry permit. I do not record anything but if someone can show me these two items, I feel good to go.

I don't mind someone doing a cursory glance at my ID/LTCH.

That said if someone wants a bill of sale or to write down info off my ID they can find another buyer/seller.

Also the idea that a "paper trail" is going to CYA is laughable at best.

Cash and carry or no sale. Same goes for handguns.
